Don't know what to make of it. More inclined to believe the State of NY is trying to get it's hands on more of someone else's money.

That is the default position of anything done by NY’s government. They are greedy, they are corrupt, they are not to be trusted.

New York, Massachusetts and others contend that the Sacklers drained more than $4 billion from Purdue since 2007, moving much of it offshore to avoid future claims.

Oy vey

We lost 56,000 in Vietnam while Mortimer Sackler killed 70,000 alone in 2017

I live in NY and am inclined to agree with you 100%, PS, I take zero pain meds.

Have you done any research on the Sacklers?

Meet the original billionaire inventer of Oxy, the SACKLER FAMILY..!

Now let's take look at opioid deaths in the USA over time:

Screen-Shot-2019-02-01-at-10-05-58-AM

Wow, that's a lot. I wonder what might help to account for that amazing growth:

Screen-Shot-2019-02-01-at-2-36-40-PM

Shameful, huh..? In view of such evil ambition, I wonder how profitable opiods are, huh..? The Sackler family owns an incredible 1/3 of the entire legal opiods market and they route all of their profits through Bermuda, where they own a non-descript office building.

I wonder HOW rich you can get...

But that's just ONE of their many houses.

This one goes for $32 million dollars and it's in Bel Air, next to Beverly Hills.

After HOOKING people, you probably won't believe that they were also recently granted a patent for a drug to get people UN-hooked, would you..?

Yes, paid to hook people, then paid to UN-hook them. Nice biz, huh...?

Nice medal, maybe he planted a flag on Mount Suribachi, right...?

Uh-huh, sure...!

If you weren't in the military, could you wear a serious look on your face while you walked around with a MEDAL on your suit jacket..?

That takes real brass.

It has been known in legal circles for years that the plaintiff's bar and their AG allies were going to target opioid manufacturers, just as the did big tobacco. The object is to drain as many billions from another unpopular industry as they can and put it into their own hands. Oh, and it's always the target that is "greedy."

What that family did, trying to move their money beyond the grasp of the lawyers, was prudent IMHO.

McCready from North Carolina, Chelsea Clinton, and Pete Buttigieg all worked for the CIA front company that restructured CIA management in 2015 for Brennan. This is close to the DEEP STATE snake’s head.

How McKinsey consultants helped push opioid sales

https://www.axios.com/opioid-sales-mckinsey-consultants-purdue-johnson-26dc36f2-007d-454f-8e36-8e9ad00af95f.html

The New York Times takes a step back from the lawsuits and criminal charges against opioid manufacturers to note that McKinsey, the consulting firm, also keeps coming up in those proceedings.

The big picture: Purdue Pharma and Johnson & Johnson both hired McKinsey to boost opioid sales. McKinsey hasn’t been charged or sued for any role in the crisis, but details about the company’s involvement have nevertheless crept out through testimony and court filings.

A little bit of both.
NY uses a bit of truth as justification to sue a company.
ie when they sued Microsoft on the stupid Browser War.

This got 1B from Microsoft.

I took ONE Oxy after a minor surgery and never took another.
My dreams were very very dark and I don’t like chemicals in my system with that much control of my head.

Like I said....a bit of truth helps them with their case.

I heard on the radio that the family is to be banned from running the company as they knew what they were doing and the damage that was done.

I think you’re dead-on right. The article plays this up like it’s a noble and righteous State government looking to lay the smack down on some shady rich people, but New York and “noble and righteous” are abut as oxymoronic as you can get; and for all that the family did to keep them from prying eyes, there’s no evidence that the money transfers were done illegally.

Let’s not forget OxyContin was APPROVED by the FDA. The FDA bears some responsibility as do prescribing physicians.

Pain & suffering tort law is really the problem.

Are you in pain Mr. Victim?

Yes. I take the maximum non-lethal amount of the most powerful pain killer. And it still hurts bad, real bad.

It’s awful how these evil people stuck those needles in the arms of the innocent victim addicts.

I can’t speak for what happens in the rest of the world, but in my area, Meth is the drug that is destroying lives. I know of two families who have children that have become METH heads. Both families have about bankrupted themselves paying for rehab.
